How do you expect your relationships to grow? <br />When your pushing everyone away that you know? <br />Especially her. <br />I couldn't help but notice that, <br />your attempts to be a better man <br />are nothing more than just that. <br />Look at me when I'm talking to you. <br />You cant even face yourself, what's that say about you? <br />Do something, anything, <br />You're just standing there. <br />She can walk out of your life forever, don't you care? <br />You know there hasn't been a mirror that hasn't met your fist. <br />But this time it's different, try to resist. <br />Even though she doesn't know, she's your friend and you need her. <br />So pull yourself together and try to make it better. <br />Be the man you know you can be. Maybe she'll love you then. <br />She deserves better than what you are. <br />She needs true love not another scar. <br />Does she know how special she is? <br />Is she being treated right? <br />She's all You dream about at night. <br />But first things first. <br />Pick yourself up...up from the dirt. <br />You're better than this, even if no one else can care any less. <br />So step away from this mirror and make it your endeavor...to sever...the negative one inside you forever.<br /><br />Erwick Brandon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-so-silent-reflections/
